Bug#465399: osmo: Full-year calendar is somewhat messed up

This seems to be true for gchar as well. display_calendar() in calendar_fullyear.c defines calendar_table, d, and tmpbuf to be gchar. In line 113 calendar_table is initialized to -1 which is 255 on powerpc because gchar is unsigned. Later on there is also a comparision 'd 0' which can never be true on powerpc. If I replace the gchar into 'signed char' it works. Ah, that makes sense, thanks a lot for your investigation! Forwarding to upstream... Note: #465182 is not yet known to be fixed, so you might have to start osmo with LANG=C LC_ALL=C osmo or comment out line 1637 in calendar.c If I have some more time, I'll try to look into this as well. That'd be great if you find the time. You are the only osmo user on ppc I know of :-) Eike pgpPD6Zzoi8go.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi Uwe, upstream changed the way of displaying empty fields in the full year calendar in svn and asked whether that changed the messed up behaviour you're seeing. I created a source package of the current svn snapshot and uploaded it to mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/osmo - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/osmo/osmo_0.2.0+svn-1.dsc It would be great if you could have a quick look at it.

If I have time, I will include your workaround and reupload. It would be great if you could test whether this bug is still present in 0.2.0. Still there. There is just a lit bit more space between the 255's. BTW, the full-year calendar starts up showing the calendar for 2008 but the little text field for changing the year says '2007'. This bug was fixed in the new upstream version 0.2.0. Yep.
